About this listen
In this eye-opening episode of Highly Therapized, I talk with Dr. Lockhart, LMFT-S, to unpack the growing corporatization of mental health services and its impact on therapists, clients, and the profession as a whole. We explore the systemic barriers mental health professionals face—such as licensure mobility challenges across states, the rise of unregulated coaching, and the exploitation of clinicians within corporate settings. Dr. Lockhart and I discuss real-world alternatives to coaching models, like Adult Rehabilitative Mental Health Services (ARMHS) and skills workers, and examine how mental health professionals have little support or protection from organization. We offer some solutions on how corporations and organizations can assist in these issues. We tie these concerns to late-stage capitalism, shedding light on how systemic issues contribute to burnout, fear, and isolation among providers—and why many are choosing to leave the field entirely. Whether you're a therapist, organization, mental health advocate, or simply curious about the inner workings of the profession, this episode offers a candid and critical conversation on the future of mental health care in a corporatized world.
